The Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the AR of Crimea/Head of the Office of the Crimean Platform Tamila Tasheva met with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye Yasin Serim during her visit to the Republic of Türkiye.

The Deputy Minister congratulated the Mission on its 30th anniversary, which took place on 17 December 2022. Mr. Serim noted in particular that since the beginning of the criminal mobilization in the territory of the Russian Federation and occupied Crimea, about 1000 Crimean Tatars were forced to leave for Türkiye.

Tamila Tasheva thanked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye for the support of Ukraine at the level of various international organizations, in particular the UN and the OSCE, as well as for the assistance in organizing the Days of Crimea in Türkiye, which took place in Istanbul and Eskisehir – the “capital” of the diaspora of the Crimean Tatars in the Republic of Türkiye. She called to support the “formula of peace” proposed by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. She also expressed gratitude to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu for mentioning the Holodomor in his social networks, which was a powerful signal for the Ukrainian state and the Ukrainian people.

The parties also discussed the issue of political prisoners. This issue remains on the agenda for Türkiye within its contacts with Russia.

The Permanent Representative also noted the support of the Crimea Platform by Türkiye and its participation in the Summits at the highest level. For his part, Yasin Serim assured that the Republic of Türkiye will continue to support the activities of the Crimea Platform.
